  1. Denied a job, what would you do?

    .....
  2. I signed up for what???

    Yes. Yes. Yes.
  3. Are TOMS acceptable nursing shoes?

    I order my wife Dansko's twice year from Amazon (from research on this site)... Work great for her 12hour shifts, much more supportive than tennis shoes for her. She got her first pair locally to get the correct size. They're $110-130 per pair, but w...
  4. Mother of RN addict

    I realize this is long after the fact...but am I the only one who feels that "grandma" has an axe to grind? sheesh...great way to show your daughter how much you care about her. It's all about your pain about not seeing your grandson, and what a ho...
  5. Jumping the Nursing Ship to Follow My Dreams

    To the op, I would highly recommend some business, business law, and accounting classes at least at your local comm. college if you don't already have these under your belt. I hope you have some real world business experience as well. Too many p...
  6. ADN grads in socal where are you finding jobs?

    If you're NOT doing that, do it NOW. That's how you will find a job.
  7. If half the class failed the course, who's to blame?

    You may want to brush up on your math skills too. Sorry, couldn't help it, good luck in the next class.
  8. Why I became a nurse, the down and dirty

    Great post OP. There's more than one way to love your job.
  9. I was yelled at by my nurse yesterday

    Irregardless of the profession, yelling is pretty much considered unprofessional (oil rigs, mining, construction sites etc., not withstanding). Consider it bad behavior by someone who doesn't posses good management skills...at least, not yet. You ...
  10. These two hats are wearing me down

    And.....
  11. 58.7 % Just a guess though.
  12. At my wits end...

    i know this is an old thread, but the last sentence above might not be the best choice of words to use for the patient in the op. just sayin'.
  13. Rant about a co-worker

    Have you considered killing her? With kindness, of course. No help, I know, but might help the rant/release.
  14. was i unprofessional? (quick story)

    That is something as a "non" nurse, that I was thinking. How does a charge nurse manage/help, with the same load as the nurses she is supposed to help?
  15. How did you find a job as a new grad?

    If any new student reads this, GET A TECH job while still in school. This will give you the BEST chance of being hired. My wife is a new RN and did the above, plus I had some cards made here... http://www.vistaprint.com/vp/ns/studio3.aspx?pf_id=088&a...
  16. was i unprofessional? (quick story)

    It's not the end of the world raindrop (nice, by the way). You just sound like "it" has gotten to you...and you reacted....happens all the time, in all ranges of employment. In the interest of handling things better (if you warrant), what would you ...
  17. was i unprofessional? (quick story)

    A couple more paragrahp spaces would be nice. But yes, as you wrote it, you do come across as a bit unprofessional, at least in what you've written. And that's coming from a carpenter, if it makes it easier to take.
  18. Try a search...it's mostly because they're hungry due to working through lunch.
  19. My achy breaky feet!

    Who would of thought you had to drag a woman out to buy shoes?
  20. My achy breaky feet!

    Just the hubbie of a new nurse, but I made sure she bought good shoes (she really likes the Danskos, just goes to show you). Also, I got her a bunch of support socks from http://www.ameswalker.com/ . I did the above before she started her clinicals,...
  21. Felon, RN

    Congrats. I got a bit lost on the above though.
  22. I GOT THE JOB!!!

    Yep, congrats! Bask in the joy of a dream finally fullfilled...you ROCK!

    You're in like Flynn....congrats!
  24. Pearson Vue Trick - Does it Work Every Time? Part 2

    Just another post in regards to the PVT, it worked well on this end. Swmbo had her test @ 8:00 a.m. yesterday, about 45 minutes from home in Atlanta traffic. My brother and I drover her, so she didnt' have to stress on the way in and waited in the ...
  25. HATING MED/SURG

    Why, thank you.
